This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
CollateX is a software to
read multiple (≥ 2) versions of a text, splitting each version into parts (tokens) to be compared,
identify similarities of and differences between the versions (including moved/transposed segments) by aligning tokens, and
output the alignment results in a variety of formats for further processing, for instance to support the production of a critical apparatus or the stemmatical analysis of a text’s genesis.
Free software: GPLv3 license
Documentation: http://collatex.rtfd.org.
Features
Non progressive multiple sequence alignment
Multiple output formats: alignment table, variant graph
Near matching (optional)
Supports Python 3
Supports unicode (Python 3 only)
How to install:
Mac/Linux: sudo pip3 install –pre collatex
if you don’t have pip installed, install it first with: sudo easy_install3 pip
For near matching functionality python-levenshtein C library is required.
Install it with (on Mac OS X and Linux):
sudo pip3 install python-levenshtein
Windows users need a precompiled binary distribution of this library if they want to use near matching.
Simple example:
from collatex import *
collation = Collation()
collation.add_witness("A", "The quick brown fox jumps over the dog.")
collation.add_witness("B", "The brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.")
alignment_table = collate(collation)
Add
print(alignment_table)
to show the results.
When running from the command shell run the example script with:
python ./nameofscript.py
History
2.0.0pre10 (2014-11-13)
Added support for Unicode character encoding
Ported codebase from Python 2 to Python 3
Separated IPython display logic from functional logic. No longer will the collate function try to determine whether you are running an environment that is capable of display HTML or SVG.
2.0.0pre9 (2014-10-02)
Added near matching option to collate function.
Added variant or invariant status to columns in alignment table object and JSON output.
Added experimental A* decision graph search optimization.
2.0.0pre8 (2014-09-18)
Added WordPunctuationTokenizer (treats punctuation as separate tokens).
Combined suffix array and edit graph aligner approaches into one collation algorithm.
2.0.0pre7 (2014-07-14)
Fixed handling of segmentation parameter in pretokenized JSON function.
2.0.0pre6 (2014-06-30)
Added Windows support. Thanks to David J. Birnbaum.
Fixed handling of IPython imports.
2.0.0pre5 (2014-06-11)
Added JSON output to collate method.
Added option to collate method to enable or disable parallel segmentation.
Added table output to collate_pretokenized_json method, next to the already existing JSON output.
Cached the suffix and LCP arrays to prevent unnecessary recalculation
Fixed handling of empty cells in JSON output of pretokenized JSON.
Fixed compatibility issue when rendering HTML or SVG with IPython 2.1 instead of IPython 0.13.
Corrected RST syntax in package info description.
2.0.0pre4 (2014-06-11)
Added pretokenized JSON support.
Added JSON visualization for the alignment table.
2.0.0pre3 (2014-06-10)
Fixed imports in init.py, “from collatex import *” now works correctly.
Added IPython HTML support for alignment table.
Added IPython SVG support for variant graph.
Added convenience constructors on Collation object.
Added horizontal layout for the alignment table visualization, next to vertical one.
2.0.0pre2 (2014-06-09)
Removed max 6 witness limit in aligner, now n number of witnesses can be aligned.
Added transposition detection.
Added alignment table plus plain text visualization.
Added collate convenience function.
2.0.0pre1 (2014-06-02)
First release on PyPI.
First pure Python development release of CollateX.
New collation algorithm, which does non progressive multiple witness alignment.
